I had my muzzle loader in it's box ( don't have gun cabinet yet) kept in kitchen above upper shelves. I used it, cleaned it, and put it away. Several months latter I took it down and the inside of the barrel looked like it was growing grass - rust! I quickly brushed it out and re-oiled it. Since I've been spraying it down with Barricade (?) gun oil and haven't seen rust on my .22 mag Savage or the muzzle loader - both blue. This incident makes me think if "shiny" SS doesn't spook game then to hell with blue. I understand blue is a "tactical" advantage but I pray to God I never need to be sneaky to shoot anyone. Thanks.
